The infrastructure which encompasses the network solution and security considerations is a major consideration for your company. Considering that the company will be expanding from one (1) floor to three (3) floors in the very near future you, as the CIO, are responsible for the design of the infrastructure and security protocols. You have been tasked with designing a network that is stable, redundant, and scalable. In addition, speed and reliability are important considerations. Assumptions should be drawn regarding network usage in relationship to network services and resources. All the established criteria that were set at the onset should be adhered to within your plan. The network solution that is chosen should support the conceived information system and allow for scalability. The network infrastructure will support organizational operations; therefore, a pictorial view of workstations, servers, routers, bridges, gateways, and access points should be used. In addition, access paths for Internet access should be depicted. Additionally, the security of the network should be in the forefront of your design because protecting your data is a primary consideration.  Section 1: Infrastructure Document Write a four to six (4-6) page infrastructure document in which you: Justify and support the relationship between infrastructure and security as it relates to this data-collection and analysis company.

1. The infrastructure which encompasses the network solution and
security considerations is a major consideration for your
company. Considering that the company will be expanding from
one (1) floor to three (3) floors in the very near future you, as
the CIO, are responsible for the design of the infrastructure and
security protocols. You have been tasked with designing a
network that is stable, redundant, and scalable. In addition,
speed and reliability are important considerations. Assumptions
should be drawn regarding network usage in relationship to
network services and resources. All the established criteria that
were set at the onset should be adhered to within your plan. The
network solution that is chosen should support the conceived
information system and allow for scalability. The network
infrastructure will support organizational operations; therefore,
a pictorial view of workstations, servers, routers, bridges,
gateways, and access points should be used. In addition, access
paths for Internet access should be depicted. Additionally, the
security of the network should be in the forefront of your design
because protecting your data is a primary consideration.
Section 1: Infrastructure Document
Write a four to six (4-6) page infrastructure document in which
you:
Justify and support the relationship between infrastructure and
security as it relates to this data-collection and analysis
company.
Present the rationale for the logical and physical topographical
layout of the planned network.
Design a logical and physical topographical layout of the
current and planned network through the use of graphical tools
in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such
as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included
in the required page length.
Illustrate the possible placement of servers including access
paths to the Internet, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and

2. firewalls. Note: Facility limitations, workstations, databases,
printers, routers, switches, bridges, and access points should be
considered in the illustration.
Create and describe a comprehensive security policy for this
data-collection and analysis company that will:
Protect the company infrastructure and assets by applying the
principals of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA).
Note: CIA is a widely used benchmark for evaluation of
information systems security, focusing on the three (3) core
goals of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of
information.
Address ethical aspects related to employee behavior,
contractors, password usage, and access to networked resources
and information.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references
must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your
professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the
date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
the required assignment page length.
Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio or Dia as an
appendix of the infrastructure document. All references to these
diagrams must be included in the body of the infrastructure
document.
